Fuel Price API for Indian Businesses
Real-time petrol, diesel, and CNG prices for any Indian city — updated daily from official sources. Built for logistics platforms, fleet management tools, expense applications, and any product that needs accurate fuel cost data without manual tracking.
What is a Fuel Price API?
A Fuel Price API is a REST interface that returns current petrol, diesel, and CNG prices for any Indian city or region. It provides structured JSON data covering daily rates, historical trends, and price change indicators — eliminating the need for manual price tracking, web scraping, or maintaining your own database.
Oil marketing companies publish new fuel rates every morning. Our API pulls those rates from official sources before 6 AM IST and makes them available through a simple query endpoint. You pass a city name, state, or pin code — the API returns the current price for that location, plus day-over-day and month-over-month changes.
Logistics platforms use it to calculate accurate freight costs. Fleet managers use it for expense tracking and fuel budget forecasting. Ride-sharing apps use it to compute real-time per-km fare estimates. Expense tools use it to validate fuel receipts. Any product where fuel cost affects pricing, decisions, or reports benefits from automatic, reliable access to current prices.
